Limit State Method

The document presents design constants for singly reinforced and balanced rectangular concrete sections using limit state and working stress methods. It provides constants for different concrete grades (M15 to M40) and steel grades (Fe250 to Fe550) including: 1) limiting depth of the neutral axis, 2) maximum moment of resistance, and 3) percentage of limiting steel. The constants allow calculating design values like moment capacity based on the limit state or working stress approach.
